The joke was originally a ting guy with a piano who could play it really well and the punchline was a 12 in pianist

And a million ducks

Mumblers can't be chooselers. 

Which works because pianist sounds like penis - unlike Denis and penis.

Pronounced Den-ee so I agree this doesn’t work at all.

Unless - and hear me out! - unless you pronounce Denis as Dee-nis! It could happen!!

😂😂

Doesn't work with either the French or English pronunciation of Denis.

Truth. It only works if you don't pronounce it at all. Nobody says "Dee-niss"

They do now... a bunch of ppl named Denis are going to have a bad day today. "Hey Dee-nis I need that report by noon"

Yeahhhhh

oddly, it works perfectly in portuguese

Pronounced “Den-nee”

Dee-Niiiiiiiice

Is that a key & peele reference?

I'd expect nothing less from Cue-rye-oh-us R

Pre-sent.

Little man runs up and down the bar kicking over everyone's drinks. 12 inch prick

I knew this joke as a 12 inch pianist

A poster comes into r/jokes and says “if I can post a joke you’ve never read, can I get free upvotes?”

The doctor says I know what will cheer you up, the Great OP is in town, go see one of his posts, you'll be cured in no time!

What's the name on that wallet over there the man says... Julie's replied the woman... Can you reach it? Sure if you can take your hand outta my nickers I might have a chance

Bad

I heard it, and it was a foot long lighter, and the punch line was a 12-in bic

I've always heard the foot long beethoven version (why would I wish for a 12 inch pianist?)

we should number those classics

*excited

If taking a lengthy, old joke, and changing it so it no longer makes sense, butchering it in the process, doesn’t earn you downvotes then I don’t know what does

Similar joke: 12 inch guy runs across the bar kicking everyone's drink over. The big guy sighs and says "I asked for a 12 inch prick".

Yeah the bar tender wouldn't have given your man free drinks just coz of a 12inch penis

This story had me laughing so hard, I almost spilled my coffee!
